Business Development Team Lead

Brinqa is the leading provider of unified cyber risk management and security analytics.  Our software empowers companies to make cyber risk decisions across a wide range of platforms quickly and efficiently. 

We help our customers’ cyber security and technology teams discover, prioritize and treat the most important risks based on real-time risk analytics, automated risk assessments, and remediation.  With actionable insights and timely communications provided by our software, our customers are reducing their response times to the constantly changing and emerging threats and saving their business from potential negative and significant impacts. 

The Role

We're hiring a Business Development Team Lead to help us connect with the security leaders who need us most, while also raising the performance of the BDR team as a whole.

This position plays a critical role in growing our pipeline — both through direct prospecting and by coaching, guiding, and holding the BDR team accountable to a consistent standard. It's a great opportunity for someone who wants to grow into sales leadership, sharpen a team's execution, and be part of building something great from the ground up.

What You'll Do

• Own the first interaction with prospects — whether it starts with an inbound inquiry or your own outreach — and continue carrying a personal pipeline-generation quota
• Qualify leads by understanding business needs, uncovering challenges, and mapping them to how Brinqa can help
• Coach, mentor, and onboard BDR team members — sharing what works on calls, in outreach sequences, and in objection handling
• Monitor team activity, pipeline health, and quota attainment; flag gaps early and course-correct with individual reps
• Partner closely with Sales leadership to convert qualified leads into real opportunities and to refine the lead-to-opportunity handoff process
• Run team pipeline reviews and report on team-level metrics and results to management
• Follow up on marketing campaigns and events, and help the team prioritize and divide the resulting lead flow
• Join field sales meetings and virtual events to stay close to messaging and target audience, and relay insights back to the team
• Serve as an escalation point for the team on tooling, process, and prospect-handling questions
• Keep lead activity and notes organized in Salesforce and tools like Outreach or Salesloft, and help enforce consistent team-wide hygiene
• Develop and maintain the team's shared understanding of how Brinqa stacks up against other solutions, and use that to sharpen team messaging

What You'll Need

• 5 + years of experience in B2B sales, ideally in cybersecurity, SaaS, or IT, including demonstrated quota attainment as a BDR/SDR
• Prior experience informally leading, mentoring, or training other reps — official management experience not required, but a track record of raising others' performance is
• Strong communication skills — clear, professional, and personable, including the ability to give direct, constructive feedback
• Comfortable navigating both cold outreach and warm inbound leads, and coaching others through the same
• Highly organized and able to manage multiple conversations, priorities, and team members' workloads at once
• Fluency with tools like Salesforce, LinkedIn, ZoomInfo, and Outreach or Salesloft, including reporting and pipeline dashboards
• A genuine interest in cybersecurity and in developing other people, not just closing your own activity

Nice to Have

• Experience supporting demand generation or marketing programs
• Working knowledge of security, risk, or compliance tools
• Prior experience building or improving BDR playbooks, call scripts, or onboarding materials
• A degree is great, but not required — we care more about what you and your team can do

HERE’S A LITTLE MORE ABOUT US

Brinqa was founded in 2008 by cybersecurity and technology veterans that witnessed first-hand the significant amount of time and people it took a company to manage the various tools and resources to protect the business from the ever evolving and changing world of cybersecurity. 

Building a cybersecurity platform that connects all of the relevant IT, security, and business data resources to create a common data view with actionable insights would give companies a resource that would allow them to respond faster, smarter and more efficiently.  

In June 2021, with a solid and effective product benefiting and significantly impacting Fortune 50 companies, Brinqa received its first and only institutionalized funding with Insight Partners.  Investing $110M and a minority position in the business, Insight Partners provided Brinqa a way to provide their cybersecurity platform product to more enterprise companies by building their employee base with expertise in Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, Professional Services and People. 

It is an exciting time of growth and for individuals to make an immediate and lasting impact on the company and its market
